Waikato/BoP: SH2 on-ramp from Route K to be closed

State Highway 2 on-ramp
from Route K to be closed for road works this coming Sunday,
Sunday night and Monday night

Motorists are advised that the State Highway 2 (SH2)
on-ramp from the Route K overbridge to Takitimu Drive will
be closed to traffic heading from the Route K Toll road
towards Mt Maunganui or the City Centre, to allow for major
road resurfacing works.

Traffic on the Route K Toll Road
heading towards Mt Maunganui or the City Centre will be
diverted via 15th Avenue, Cameron Road and Elizabeth Street
to join up with SH2, says the NZ Transport Agency.

The
works will take place during the day on Sunday 11 May
between 10.30am and 6.00pm, and night works on Sunday 11 May
and Monday 12 May between 6pm and 6am.

This work is
highly weather dependent and if wet, the work will be
undertaken on the next suitable day.

Motorists are advised
to drive with care and to expect delays whilst this traffic
management is in place. The Transport Agency wishes to thank
drivers for their patience and Tauranga City Council for
their cooperation, while these works are being done.
